Damascus Steel Straight Razor with 70 mm Blade and Bull Horn Handle

This straight razor is forged from 264 layers of 1095 and 15N20 steel, creating a distinctive swirl-patterned Damascus blade. The steel is hardened to HRC 58-60, providing a tough, resilient edge that holds its sharpness well. The blade is 70 mm long and 4.5 mm thick at the spine.

The handle is shaped from genuine bull horn, meaning each razor has a unique colour and pattern. With an overall length of 235 mm (9.25 inches), it offers a balanced and controlled feel. Please note, the blade is supplied unhoned and will require stropping to establish a shaving-ready edge.

Primarily designed for traditional wet shaving, the sharp, controllable blade also lends itself to precision cutting tasks such as leather skiving, marking wood, or trimming delicate materials in model making.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
